🔴 LONDON QURAN BURNER ATTACKER AVOIDS PRISON TERM

A man who armed himself with a knife and launched an attack on a protester burning a Quran outside the Turkish Consulate in Knightsbridge has been spared jail.
Moussa Kadri received a 20-week suspended sentence after pleading guilty at Southwark Crown Court.
We believe this unduly lenient sentencing to be a miscarriage of justice, seeing no reason why this was not prosecuted as assault with a bladed article, and we ask: is this not an example of two-tier justice, emboldening those who wish enforce a de facto blasphemy law by intimidating anti-Islam protesters?
The sentence, passed at Southwark Crown Court by Judge Adam Hiddleston, came after 59-year-old Moussa Kadri admitted both assault and possession of a bladed article.
His remorse was accepted by Judge Adam Hiddleston, despite repeated earlier denials and deliberate attempts to mislead authorities, presenting a version of events in direct contradiction with the clear video evidence shot by Video Production News affiliate Cameraman Anthony Barnes - @Ay_audits-c4n who was live on the scene and fully witnessed the vicious knife attack
Kardi had threatened to kill Hamit Coskun, 51, who had set fire to the Quran while shouting inflammatory remarks about Islam, before launching the attack in Rutland Gardens, Knightsbridge, on 13 February.
Footage filmed by VPN associate cameraman AY Audits shows Kadri leaving the scene after a heated exchange, only to return minutes later armed with a large bread knife. He is seen brandishing the blade and making slashing motions towards the victim, who was punched, kicked and spat at during the attack.
Kadri then fled by car, discarding the knife, before returning to the scene. When arrested, he told officers there had been no knife at all. Later, he produced a photograph of a pallet knife and claimed this was what he had carried. The actual weapon has never been recovered.
Even when the case reached Crown Court, Kadri initially pleaded not guilty to possession of the knife despite the footage leaving no room for doubt. He eventually changed his plea, but only as it dawned on him that denial was untenable. To many, this seriously undermines any later claim of remorse.
Yet the charging decision meant the offence was dealt with as simple assault alongside possession of a knife in public, rather than the more serious offence of assault with a bladed article — a charge that carries significantly greater sentencing powers and more accurately reflects the circumstances of the attack.
